If you're running as a task, that is your script is called from a sub-table of user.scheduler.tasks, any elements you add to a special table called "taskInfo" will be included in the log. You can add sub-tables to that table, or outlines, or binary information, whatever you like.

If your script is running as a sub-task of user.scheduler.overnight or user.scheduler.hourly or user.scheduler.everyMinute, you can add information to a special table called "subTaskInfo".

For example, in mainResponder.background.everyMinute, this line tells the reader how many guest databases were saved:

subtaskinfo.ctDatabasesSaved = ctSaves
